Project Natal is a New Xbox 360, only For $149.Monday, May 31, 2010 4:07 7 Comments
There is a good chance that several websites may have spoiled the Microsoft Project Natal party on June 13. Several websites have come out and claimed connections to reliable sources that now say that Project Natal will cost $149, which is about 50% more than the rumored price so far. Also, a website claims to know the name of Project Natal and says it will ship with the name Wave. Microsoft may have sabotaged itself by releasing a brown Zune MP3 player and by naming its social cellphones Kin, but we have serious doubt that Microsoft will be naming the Natal device Wave. There is already a website called Wave that is operated by Microsoft and that is used to "bring you the freshe
Best Alternatives to Facebook, Social Media sites.Tuesday, May 25, 2010 1:41 1 Comment
you're familiar with the social network giant Facebook, you'll know privacy has been an increasingly hot topic. While it is a top dog in its field, it's been growing a reputation for taking advantage of users and their privacy. So why don't people leave? The most common answer I hear is, "What other choice do I have?" Well, here are five alternatives to Facebook that are worth giving a shot . Bebo Bebo, by AOL, is growing in popularity in the United States but is one of the most popular in the UK and surrounding areas. From what I understand, Bebo is one of the few social networking sites that defaults your profile to private, a welcome feature for those looking to esc
Electric car runs over 1,000 km without rechargeMonday, May 24, 2010 10:06 No Comments
One of the biggest problems that stands between electric vehicles and becoming mainstream is limited battery life. But there has been some progress in that area lately: the Japan Electric Vehicle Club [JP], a civic group based in Tokyo, announced today a Mira EV customized by the group traveled exactly 1,003.184 kilometers without a recharge. The club shattered its own record from last month when another electric vehicle drove 555.6km (345 miles) from Tokyo to Osaka on a single charge. The new record was made possible by driving the car at a driving course in Shimotsuma, Japan, which is apparently the world's longest. Powered by a Sanyo lithium-ion battery (built by assembling 8
The Viliv N5 is now launching in JuneWednesday, May 19, 2010 4:55 No Comments
I've been patiently waiting for the Viliv N5 MID to launch after first getting a glimpse at it before CES '10. I was hoping to be able to check it out this month as a rumor suggested back in March. But apparently that's not going to happen. The little Windows 7 clamshell has been pushed back to June. Hopefully the company has improved upon the model since we got a few minutes to play with it on CES's show floor. While the form factor is fantastic, it felt cheap and flimsy — almost breakable. We should find out in June. Via [crunchgear ]
Microsoft upgrade aims to make Hotmail cool againTuesday, May 18, 2010 3:30 No Comments
Microsoft Corp. is trying to make Hotmail cool again.The free Web mail service soon will be switching to a new approach that Microsoft hopes will give Hotmail an edge over rival offerings from Yahoo Inc. and Google Inc. The upgrade, expected to be available in July or August, will automatically sort incoming messages into different categories devoted to users' key contacts and Internet social networks. It will also provide previews of incoming photos, videos and other material without having to open an attachment or click on a link. Other tools are being added to make it less cumbersome to send photos, videos, documents and other attachments to e-mail recipients. Another tw

Academy Dog Training by Haywood
Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?
Academy Dog Training by Haywood stresses continuing education for its trainers. Understanding new methods and techniques combined with old school progression brings a balanced approach to training. Teaching first through motivation builds a better and more sound foundation in training all dogs.
What advice do you have for a client looking to hire a provider like you?
When looking for a dog trainer, ask questions about their philosophy in training... it is best to work with a trainer that has a similiar philosophy in teaching and discipline that you have. Also, ask about their experience in the field of training and teaching, because the best dog trainer might not be able to teach YOU how to train your dog.
What do you like most about your job?
What I like most about dog training is seeing the success of the dogs, and the smiles of their owners amazed by the training results.
Do you engage any sort of continuing education to stay up on the latest developments in your field?
Every year I take at least 20 hours of dog behavioral courses, 10 hours of hands-on skills in different training techniques, and teach continuing education classes to Pet Professional trainers.
Describe the most common services you provide for your clients.
I work with puppies and their owners on proactive training... preventing problems before they start. Basic and advanced training is result-driven; we are constantly building off the success of the previous lesson. You and your dog are my best advertisement.
What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
"Does my dog need training?" and "what methods do you use?"... All dogs need to be trained, and training through motivation works best in keeping dogs focused. In training, a dog should always trust you and feel comfortable while working through difficult challenges.
What do you wish customers knew about you or your profession?
The dog training profession has evolved over the past 30 years. Many older trainers sometimes resist moving forward with newer methods and techniques, where a lot of newer trainers have resisted learning and understanding training of the past. This is where I consider myself as a balanced dog trainer. Programs must be fine-tuned for the individual personality of each pet, and the circumstances surrounding each family.

Grammy Winner, Laurie Lewis puts down the fiddle and bow and puts on the producer's hat for former Grisman guitarist David Thom.
Thoms CD, "That Old Familiar" is a collection of stellar Americana and bluegrass songs featuring notable guests: Laurie Lewis, Todd Phillips and Paul Shelasky.
"I am pleased to announce the release of David Thom's new CD, That Old Familiar. I produced (and engineered) David's latest recording, and though I may be a little biased, I'd say it sounds pretty darn good! David's music is so far known almost exclusively to Northern California audiences, but that may well be changing. Check it out here!" - Laurie Lewis
California acoustic artist, David Thom teamed up with Grammy-winner Laurie Lewis (producer) to record this CD between May and August of 2011.
The CD ranges from driving bluegrass to tender country ballads, and features some of California's most talented players on today's acoustic scene. Mike Witcher (Peter Rowan Band), Chad Manning (David Grisman Bluegrass Experience and Laurie Lewis and the Right Hands), Paul Shelasky (Lost Highway, David Thom Band), Tom Rozum (Laurie Lewis and the Right Hands), banjo master Bill Evans, and Laurie herself, to name a few.
The CD features songs from lesser known writers like Dave Alvin and Emma Smith, original songs from David, classic bluegrass and even a cover of the classic "Lucille" of Kenny Rogers fame. A wonderful mosaic of Americana and bluegrass that flows together like it's one long, sweet song.
In addition to fronting his own traditional-style bluegrass band for the past 15 years, the David Thom Band, David was the lead guitarist and singer for the David Grisman Bluegrass experience for two years. He is a mandolin player for Grandpa Banana's Band, front man for the Flatt and Scruggs Tribute Band, and an accomplished songwriter.

On 17th October last year, dad was admitted to the MC hospital for a probable infection. He had become extremely weak, foggy, sleeping 16 hours a day, and had difficulty recognising people and raising himself up from the bed without support. We were not unduly perturbed though. After all, it was the fifth time in the last twenty months, since his dialysis started, that we needed to take him to the hospital in similar bodily conditions. Each time, while he had gone in seemingly irreparable, he had come out fine, though further weakened and emaciated.
This time however, on the very first day, he was shifted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) as both his blood pressure and sugar were sinking. He was put on a ventilator on the same day with artificial respiration, and started with heavy dose of broad spectrum antibiotics. He seemed to respond well, and two days later, he was taken off the ventilator. That evening, when I asked dad if he recognised me, he exclaimed, with a thin smile on his face, "Quite well, Yasir Ali." As it happened, these were the last words that I heard from him. He went back into that foggy state two days later, and was put on ventilator again. We got fifteen minutes daily in the evening to see dad in the ICU. I went in there with fear and nervous anxiety. The sight was grislier each time. There were more tubes connected to him, face contorted, body bloated, and the whole countenance deathly pale. I prodded him, with increasing desperation and anger, getting usually an exasperated wheezing as a response.
A week into the ventilator, as we felt dad slipping away, and mom on the verge of a breakdown, I tried to initiate a straight-forward conversation with the principal physician. Do they understand what is happening? Have they seen any improvement over the last few days? Is there anything more that can be done technically, that is not possible in this hospital? Is dad suffering? Is he now on a path of no return now, and dying? Should we then remove the ventilator?
The physician was old and kindly, but insular to feelings. He assured me that they were doing the best that was possible anywhere. There was absolutely no improvement in dad's condition but no deterioration either. They could not stop his treatment or take him off the ventilator. The purpose of medicine was to save lives. Stopping the treatment was wrong, ethically and legally. They still had hope and there were few more things that they wanted to try.
I should have been happy about the outcome of the meeting. But it made me despondent. Dad's body had withered and shrunken like a dead tree. When his eye lids were pulled up, there was no life left in his pupils. I felt it in my bones that doctors were giving false hopes and dad was dying. I wanted a way to reduce his suffering. And I was also worried, and ashamed to be worried, about the financial consequences of this long stay in the ICU. Till when would my insurance last? But then, could we really be sure that dad was irrecoverable?
Dad ultimately died one week later at home, barely three hours after he was taken off the ventilator at hospital and put on a bipap (a kind of portable ventilator with less support). Death is not a tragedy but an inevitable reality. But this was the first time that I had been through the process of dying. It was as if he had just drifted further in that deep sleep, and slipped into oblivion.
The man who had died was not the man I had known all my life. My father had left his feudal household and town when young in search of life and career. He was beholden to books and poetry and ideas, and had nurtured his mind with free inquiry. Friends, conversation and laughter gave his life colour. Freedom - physical, financial, intellectual, spiritual - defined him. Seeing such a fiercely independent, alive, non-conformist man die such an ordinary, degrading death broke me. Was this how we are all condemned to end?
Till I read Atul Gawande's Being Mortal, however, I did not know that any alternative ending was indeed possible. But, clichéd as it may sound, just there is an "art of living", there may well be an "art of dying" as well.
In retrospect, the trajectory of my dad's last two years, and further last three weeks, had a pattern that has become all too familiar in the modern context. In at least the more affluent classes of the world, a profound change has happened in the last fifty years - we live longer and die slowly.
We have a great deal to thank modern medicine for extending the limits of mortality so significantly that we take much of it for granted now. Till about a century back, life expectancy was under fifty throughout most of the western world, while still being under thirty in lesser developed countries. As Gawande puts it, "It didn't matter whether you were five or fifty. Every day was a roll of dice." Mortality was common and sudden. A simple infection was enough to end you in a day or two.
What it meant was growing old was a rarity and a privilege. Old people occupied positions of high honour and prestige, and were treasured for their experience and wisdom. This began to change dramatically from 1930s onwards, with the average life expectancy steadily increasing globally. As a consequence, more than eighty years later now, in many developed nations, people aged more than sixty five now form more than twenty percent of the population. This is an inevitable condition for all countries, even ours, which boasts of a "young population" as of now.
The dynamics of longer lives along with more mobility has meant that old age has lost its reverence and more individuals are living alone. This may seem an absolute disaster to family-oriented Indian lives, and a Western phenomenon. However, interestingly, cross-cultural research has shown that, East or West, given the opportunity, people have preferred to abandon the older way for the new. Family life may have suffered, but individual aspirations have got a new lift with this independence.
This phenomenon of living alone, without kids, however starts costing us as we grow older, and gradual wear and tear of the body sets in. There is apparently no one reason, "no single common cellular mechanism", why our bodies break down. But there is a common enough set of major/minor fixing of the body that almost everybody beyond a certain age goes through now - cataracts removal, false teeth, prostate, knee/hip replacements, dialysis, pace makers, et al. And as our physical and mental capacities shrink, we find it increasingly difficult to stay put and manage simple daily matters of living. Quality of life, as we know it, goes on a steadily downhill path.
Our experience of ageing, much more pronounced in the developed world, also shows that we have not accepted or adopted to these new conditions very well. In our long history of settled life, after all, this "new condition" is still not more than half a century old. Popular culture addresses it with plain denial, with attempts to negate all it's overt manifestations in hair, teeth and skin. It feels so much better to declaim that spring of youth is eternal than worry about the ravages of old life. But this denial and not thinking about old age has ultimately led to creation of social and institutional mechanisms - old age homes, nursing homes, ICU support - that are medically designed and not keeping the affected people in mind.
Nursing homes are the most representative of these institutions. They were essentially created to empty out the hospital beds since hospitals were unable to cope with the increased elderly who could not take care of themselves. Key priority was, and remains, safety of the elderly, maintained through a strict enforcement of well-defined rules and procedures. Gawande's descriptions of these places - small, shared rooms with bare essentials, white-fresh linen, spotless corridors with sputtering, barely walking people, manicured lawns, precisely defined times and areas for sleeping, eating and playing - evoke the dystopian, depressing and ultimately totalitarian world of a Stanley Kubrick movie quite magnificently. Getting into a nursing home seems akin to losing all privacy and autonomy, and the likeness to prisons and mental institutions is rather hard to miss.
The end, when it comes, happens typically in forlorn ICUs in prolonged agony, whose experience Atul Gawande captures poignantly, "Spending one's final days in an ICU because of terminal illness is for most people a kind of failure. You lie attached to a ventilator, your every organ shutting down, your mind teetering on delirium and permanently beyond realising that you will never leave this borrowed, fluorescent place."
The premise of "Being Mortal" is deceptively simple, and addresses this modern scourge head-on - can life be lived meaningfully till the end, under physically and mentally dwindled circumstances?
To understand this book however, we first need to know something about the person behind it. Atul Gawande was born of immigrant parents, both doctors, in America. He is a practicing surgeon, and when he first started writing about his experiences, his fellow surgeons were disconcerted by his frankness. For one, he did not shy away from talking about his fears, anxieties, or even failures on the job. In one of his early pieces for New Yorker, he admitted to "nearly killing a woman on his operating table because of inattentiveness." To his colleagues, it revealed too much about the uncertainties of a profession that usually has a God-like aura around its invulnerability. Philosophy and politics are his other interests, besides medicine, for which he has an abiding passion. He is curious with a healthy irreverence towards the omniscience of science and progress.
"Being Mortal" is his fourth, and most ambitious, work so far. In this book, he turns the complex issues of ageing on its head by bringing the usually passive, individual subject at the centre. Although meticulous in his research, his primary method of argument is that of the narrative. It critiques the medical way of approaching old age, and says, "The problem with medicine and and the institutions it has spawned for the care of the sick and the old is not that they have an incorrect view of what makes life significant. The problem is that they have had almost no view at all."
This view, if any, is governed, in the main, by the priorities of keeping the elderly safe. This sounds noble enough from the perspective of the care-givers. It is also given strong philosophical underpinnings by Maslow's highly influential "theory of needs" that places safety and survival as the most basic of all human needs. Seen from the eyes of the people being cared for however, it reduces life to a ship whose moorings are forever lost from their hands.
Karen Armstrong has shown, in remarkable books centered on religion, myth and spirituality, that human beings are a curious, meaning-seeking creatures. We often willingly forego "safety and survival" to do things that we see as larger than ourselves - nation, community, even small personal projects. This "theory of loyalty", as also propounded by the philosopher Richard Dworkin, does not fit the mainstream narrative of self-interest guiding all our rational choices, and is thus looked upon with suspicion when it emerges in different forms.
In Being Mortal, Gawande argues persuasively that for us to retain meaning in our lives, we essentially need the freedom and autonomy to shape our respective stories. This comes out fundamentally in terms of choices that we leave for our elderly and sick, even as they rely more on their care-givers to perform basic functions.
As Gawande shows, particularly when it comes to treating terminally ill patients, the focus of modern medicine is persistently to do more - surgeries, experimental treatments, critical care - with the basic aim to avoid mortality. On the other hand, research shows that priorities of people with serious illness are much more than prolonging life, such as "avoiding suffering, strengthening relationships with family and friends, being mentally aware, not being a burden on others, and achieving a sense that their life is complete."
This is of course a difficult argument to make, and can easily slip into asking for an "easy death" rather than struggle for "better life". Gawande's argument is more subtle though. It focuses on the softer aspects of critical care in which hard conversations, rational choice, and reduction of suffering have as important a role to play as the actual treatments – and where doctors help their patients interpret the choices they need to make. The choice is not between life and death. It is to do with prioritizing what is most important for the critically ill at the end of life, and choosing a better course.
And these are the kind of discussions that my father would have liked. When his dialysis started, we knew that time before him was finite. Dialysis is not a cure. It is only an artificial support that replaces what kidney does - remove waste and excess water from the blood. All that we understood was that this was the only option with dad's both kidneys failing, and that people survive for years with dialysis. That it is but a minor distraction, and life would move on as usual.
But it all started falling apart from the beginning. Dad did not take very well to lying straight for four-five hours in the hospital, and have his blood flow through tubes to get cleansed. He was so tired by the time it ended each time, that he had to be literally carried up to our third floor home. He was no longer able to read, think, go out, and after some time, even sit up in bed without support. When the frequency increased to thrice a week, more than once, he expressed his frustration and desire to quit - that we of course never took seriously.
I believe that at that point, it would have helped if his doctors (along with family) were to have a frank discussion with dad on following lines. What are his most important priorities? How much is he willing to suffer for prolonging life? What would make living not worthwhile for him anymore?
These are difficult conversations, but Gawande shows, with both proven research and personal stories, that successful resolution of these questions have helped make end of life better. "Palliative care" is one of the specialised medical care that Gawande illustrates as one of the alternatives to improve quality of life in the end. Palliative care is a multi-disciplinary approach, with goals that are not curative but focused on relieving the patients of pain, tiredness, physical stress and making their lives as active as possible. It involves giving up aggressive treatment, and may seem to quicken death. But a landmark 2010 study for the terminal cancer patients showed astonishingly that those who saw a palliative care specialist "stopped chemo sooner, experienced less suffering at the end, and lived longer." It surely does not result in dying in a diffused state on a ventilator.
In spite of having a strong western social and healthcare context, Being Mortal offers valuable insights for the world we are moving towards, and is deeply affecting and moving. It is a marvelous meditation on the limits imposed by the human body, and what social and moral pathways are required to address it. In spite of the deeply morbid and sometimes depressing subject matter, it ultimately has a supremely positive outlook towards the possibilities of life.
Being Mortal also reminds us that our stories have to end well to be truly meaningful to ourselves. And this is a real possibility even in modern life.

Which is fine with me – I'm there to meet other sewists, look at what others have done, and exchange ideas. It's one of the things that I accept for taking on a hobby that has a miniscule amount of male participation.
Yesterday's meetup was at the Sips N Sews studio. And though I didn't win the door prize this time around, I did walk out with an entire tub of menswear patterns:

In this day and age, communication is achieved via cellular phones. Cellular communication includes calling, texting, and going online. Because of this, cellular rates are becoming a concern. Every minute of a call is charged and thus, long calls will rack up the phone bills.
Situations that need constant communication over the course of a day, such as traffic monitoring, has caused the radio scene to persist past this digital era.Since the waning of its popularity in the 1980s, the number of CB channels open has lessened, making way for those who really need to use them.
The Midland 75-822 40 Channel Handheld CB Radio is designed for those who would like to use CB-way radio communication on the road. It has a cable that charges from a car and can be taken outside the car as well since it uses batteries when needed.
- Portable
- 40 CB channels
- 4 watts output power
- Dual watch monitors
- 10 NOAA channels with instant access
- Automatic noise limiter
- Squelch control
- 1-year warranty
The Midland 75-822 40 Channel CB-Way Radio is userfriendly, is perfect for short range two-way communication and is sustainable. It has all the features of a classic CB Way radio in a small, portable and easy-to-maintain unit.
One of the unit's most promising aspects is that it is uncomplicated and has room for change. It does not have to be programmed and is ready to be used once taken out of its packaging. Moreover, it can be connected to other accessories such as headphones, external speakers, and a microphone for optimum use. You can also change the unit's antenna. We found that it works best with the Midland Mobile CB antennas because it will connect to the unit directly without the use of an adapter.
Another favorable feature of the unit is its reach. The Midland 75-822 is built for short-range communications and works best on flat terrains where it has been recorded to have a maximum range of 5 miles. It reaches up to 40 citizen band channels and has instant access to 10 NOAA channels for those who are looking for weather conditions.
Its last and most prominent feature by far is its sustainability. The unit has three power sources: a 6-battery compartment (for non-rechargeable AA batteries), an 8-battery compartment with a separate pluggable AC charger (for rechargeable AA batteries), and an all-in-one snap-on unit which attaches to a cigarettelightertype 12v connector (for car use), an external antenna cable and a connector. When extended, the cable stretches up to 27". You have all you need by means of power source with these three options.
To sum it up, its small size did not, in any way, hinder its ability to be of great use to its buyers. The 75-822 really performs well and meets expectations.
According to reviews and sources it has failed to meet their expectations with regards to its range, battery charging abilities, and other presupposed functions.
The most recent and most mentioned fault of the unit is its inability to function as well in mountainous areas as it does on flat terrain. It was also deemed not fit for commercial use such as communication between two guards since it would mean that there are walls that the signal would have to try to get through for efficient communication. If the user would like to boost the radio's reach, a different antenna would have to be used.
Despite its three choices of power source, some claim that using the batteries is not the same as using the AC because it lessened its ability to transmit. In addition, the battery charger also does notautomatically turn itself off upon fully charging which gives way to the possibility of overcharging.
Other concerns regarding the unit include its lack of a PA function, which limits the unit to radio communication only. The Midland 75-822 40 Channel CB-Way Radio is also not Bluetooth compatible which, therefore, means that it will not be compatible with things such as wireless earphones, speakers, etc.
In summation, there are some specialized features of a CB that are not available in the Midland 75-822 handheld and its reach and transmission is limited only to short-range communications.
The CB radio is made, in the first place, only as a short-distance radio communication device. As a CB, the Midland 75-822handheld performs well.
The majority of things listed in the disadvantages are things that are brought about by the user's desire for more additions and extra features, but if you're a casual CB radio user or a first timer, this radio offers all the basics.
However, for its price of $74, it can be considered somewhat steep. There are CB radios that offer the basics and more for the same price or less, though we can't possibly vouch for the other products' quality.

"You can defer Wimbledon until next year, but the Summer Games in Rio won't happen again in your lifetime," says Duane Penner, vice president of sales at Roadtrips. The Canadian company specializes in securing the best tickets and experiences at sporting events worldwide, and it recently announced the Roadtrips 2016 Summer Games Packages.
Now that the official schedule for Rio has been released and the event is less than a year away, the company is encouraging clients to organize their Summer Games trips. "Once the hotel suites are gone, they are gone," says Penner, noting that the luxury-hotel inventory in Rio is very limited compared to Olympic host cities like London and Beijing. Although it will not last long, Roadtrips has availability at several private villas in the city as well as the choice hotels Caesar Park Ipanema by Sofitel and Hotel Santa Teresa. Towering over Ipanema Beach, the five-star, 222-room Caesar Park boasts sweeping city, ocean, and mountain views. The boutique 43-room Hotel Santa Teresa is tucked away in the eponymous Montmartre-like hilltop neighborhood of Santa Teresa, among cobblestone lanes and independent shops and restaurants.
Roadtrips will coordinate every detail for customers from the moment they land in Brazil. The completely customizable trips start from about $10,000 per person for four nights. Another reason to book early, says Penner: "Half the fun of travel is the anticipation." (roadtrips.com)

With an eye on the future, the Union continuously works to make sustainability a priority at K-State. This commitment to make the Union as eco-friendly as possible is reflected in our daily operations, as well as the opportunities we provide to students to make greener decisions on campus.
The Union recycles a variety of materials, including:
- Cardboard
- Newspaper
- Batteries
- Ink cartridges
- Light bulbs
- Copy paper
- Cooking oil
- Aluminum cans
- Plastic bottles
- Magazines
Energy Efficiency
Fluorescent light bulbs and motion-sensor light switches are used where possible, and the Union also has a control system to efficiently control heating and cooling throughout the building. The restrooms feature automatic hand-washing stations that encourage less waste production while conserving energy.
Sustainable Products
The Union encourages its partners to use environmentally friendly products like biodegradable to-go boxes and plates, as well as recycled napkins. The Union also uses Enviro-Care carpet cleaner and bio-friendly hand soap, floor restorer and disinfectant.
Water Bottle Filling Stations
The water bottle filling stations provides quick, clean and green hydration. The filling stations are a convenient way to supply rapid water fill and minimize plastic bottle waste. The fill rate is three times faster than a traditional drinking fountain and utilizes an electronic touch sensor for sanitation. The filling stations also count the quantity of plastic bottles saved from landfills.
Bicycle Repair Station
Riding your bike on campus has never been easier. The Union offers all the tools necessary to perform basic bike repairs and maintenance at the bicycle repair station. Campus bikers are able to do anything from change flat tires to adjust breaks. Hanging the bike from the hanger arms allow the pedals and wheels to spin freely while making adjustments. The public repair device accommodates most bike types and is ADA compliant.

All I can be….is me and that's what God wants. Matter of fact, He said so. One day He said to me, "My eyes….make them shine. My hands…make them glow. You are my light…just BE IT! You don't have to DO, you have to BE. A football just has to be a football and when it is thrown into the game, it serves it's purpose just by being a football. Grass is just grass. It doesn't try to DO anything, it just IS and it serves it's purpose. Just be, Angela. Stop trying to DO and just BE. You are enough. I made You in my image."
That was a few days ago then today I was watching my tiny Dachshund (Charlie) running around the backyard with my huge Pyrenees/Border Collie (Sparky) and I hear God say, "My Word is enough and You are enough. Again, Ang – just BE. Be You – no one else.". And God starts showing me how Charlie likes to walk around and show people that he is a really big dog in a little body. I hear the Holy Spirit say, "You have a big God in your little body, Charlie isn't walking around trying to make you THINK he's a big dog. He's just being him and he KNOWS that IN him is the same courage and strength as Sparky so he fears nothing! Walk tall with your head high believing that all the strength and courage You need is IN you…because I am in YOU!"
So here's my conclusion….I'm done wondering what I need to be doing. I'm just going to focus on being me and I KNOW that God will fulfill His purpose through me like that. He made me ME for a reason. I don't have to figure it all out, I just have to know who I am and Be it! I am a child of God made in His image and I am absolutely loved and adored by Him! That's good enough for me!
But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. – John 1:12

Kanye West brought his North American tour to a close on Sunday night (23Feb14) by duetting with a fan.
The rapper closed the North American leg of his Yeezus shows at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York in front of an audience which included his fiancee Kim Kardashian and members of her famous family.
West, who launched the concerts in October (13), marked his final night on the road by signing his microphone with the words "From Yeezus - last show" and handing it to a fan in the audience.
He then let the young man, who was sporting a 'Yeezus' tattoo on his chest, rap the final verse of his track Bound 2 to end the tour.
West is taking his tour to Australia later this year (14).

Warning: this page contains spoilers
|I've been dead for seven years. That's as warm as they get.
—Noah to Ashley about the temperature of his hands.
|Noah Czerny
|Biographical Information
|Full name:
Noah Czerny
Unknown date
17 (before death)
The Smudgy One
Student at Aglionby Academy (former)
Monmouth Manufacturing
Mr. Czerny (father)
|Physical Description
|Hair color:
Light colored hair
In his youth, Noah attended Aglionby Academy, where he befriended fellow student Barrington Whelk. When the latter lost his fortune, he became convinced that he would be able to regain it by awakening the ley line; Noah offered to help him.
However, while the two began performing the ritual to open the pathways, Whelk turned on Noah and struck him in the head with a skateboard, killing him, knowing that sacrificing a life was required in the ritual. However, this ultimately fails, at the cost of Noah's life.
After remaining in Henrietta as a ghost for seven years, Noah eventually met Richard Gansey III, Ronan Lynch, and Adam Parrish, the four becoming close friends. He stays at Monmouth Manufacturing with Gansey and Ronan.
Noah is very quiet and introverted. Often, he is shy and nervous, in the face of people, and cowardly when confronted with danger. However, this does not make him unwilling to keep secrets from or for others, or to risk himself to protect those important to him. Underneath this, Noah is fragile; he is sensitive about his death. He once noted that he was "more when he was alive", and was hinted in Blue Lily, Lily Blue to have been energetic, cheerful, and animated before his death. His sister affirms this during her speech at Aglionby.
When he came across his old car near Cabeswater, abandoned after his death, with the others, he began to retch profusely. And, when the Ley lines began to become affected by the activities of the Greywarens, Ronan and Kavinsky, Noah began to re-enact his death, over and over.
Despite his cowardly nature, Noah proves himself to be a loyal, caring friend. He likes hugs and kisses, which he doesn't get enough of. He attempted to aid Whelk in awakening the ley line, a dangerous feat, which ultimately cost him his life.
He is close to Blue, Gansey, Ronan, and Adam. With them, a more extroverted personality appears; Noah shows himself to have a sense of humor, and to enjoy more reckless, fun activities, (such as street-racing). However, he often worries for them; when Adam nearly lost his life while scrying, Noah became distraught.
Physical descriptionEdit
|[He] was smudgy… with a rumpled, faded look about his person, like his body had been laundered too many times.
—- The Raven Boys
As a ghost, Noah is described as being a little grubby and "smudgy", with combed-back, fair hair. He is noted to have a dark smudge over his cheekbone, underneath his eye, which is revealed to be the result of part of his head caving when he was hit with a skateboard by Barrington Whelk.
Gallery Edit
- Noah is derived from the Hebrew name נוֹחַ (Noach) meaning "rest, comfort".
- Noah drank his mother's birthday schnapps while he was still alive, and, at his funeral, he asked Blue to tell her he was sorry for that.
- His bones were reburied by his friends at the old ruined church on the ley line in an attempt to stabilize his energy.
- He used to own a red Mustang, which had a Blink-182 sticker on it.
- He used to be on the Aglionby swim team.
- Aside from his friends, (Blue, Ronan, Gansey, Adam) few people can see Noah. Those who can include Mr. Gray, the women of Fox Way, Jesse Dittley, and, surprisingly, Declan and Declan's girlfriend, Ashley.
- Ronan once tossed him out of a window.
- He likes glitter, a lot.
- Noah is dead. He is very dead. (But in our hearts, he'll live on.)
- He Is a pisces

Peter Candela, who recently resigned as chief executive of the Morro Bay Chamber of Commerce, started Monday as the head of the Pismo Beach chamber.
He will start working on a five-year plan for Pismo Beach, said chamber board President Suellen Iness, who was interim CEO.
The chamber's former CEO, Rebecca McMurry, resigned in May to move back to Washington state to care for her mother.
Candela, who was the Morro Bay chamber's leader since April 2006, told The Tribune in late July that he felt he had accomplished what he considered his five-year plan in his four years there.
Initial priorities for Pismo Beach include strengthening the chamber's relationship with the city and other groups, reviewing its current events and making sure its more than 450 members' needs are met, Candela said. He has started a plan with goals for the first week to 90 days.
Some events may be able to be extended to attract more tourists, Candela said.
"I want to make sure the tri-chamber network stays intact," he said, referring to the relationship among the Arroyo Grande, Grover Beach and Pismo Beach chambers. "I want to make sure we're a united voice, because that makes us extremely powerful."

Happy Friday! We are on the final day of swatch week and I am ending it with a bang! This polish has been on my wish list from the moment I saw swatches of it late last Spring. But it proved elusive to me for some odd reason. I was finally able to get my hands on it last month and I am beyond excited to share it with you now. Cats and kittens, I present to you Morgan Taylor Under the Stars!
Under the Stars is a gorgeous navy blue jelly-ish base filled with silver and holographic micro glitter. I have to be honest that when I received my bottle I was taken aback by how much glitter there was in the bottle. It's a lot! But it translates nicely onto the nail and doesn't distract from the base too much. This polish is chunky but I didn't have any problem with application. It was very sheer on the first coat but by the second was completely opaque. Word to the wise- use a good thick top coat. This dries incredibly gritty and somewhat dull and is an insane top coat eater. I wound up need three (!) coats of HK Girl Top Coat and it still wasn't a 100% smooth. I think next time I will grab my bottle Gelous first and then apply HK Girl over it to get a perfect glassy finish.
I've been wearing this polish for the past two days now and I love it! I'm interest in trying out a few more Morgan Taylor glitters as well now.
Morgan Taylor is available at nail salons as well as some e-tailers. I got my bottle on eBay and I checked last night and there are quite a few available for decent prices!

Classroom Teaching
From 2001 to 2015, I taught self-designed courses to young music journalists and literature enthusiasts at Berklee College of Music in Boston. Students found it stimulating and worthwhile to integrate music into the fabric of literature classes, as we read Jack Kerouac's On the Road, The Beat Poets, humorist Mark Twain's travel writings, naturalist Peter Matthiessen's global explorations.
Oral History Project
SInce 2005, I conducted videotaped interviews with over 80 Boston and/or Berklee musicians, both jazz and classical, for Berklee's Getz Library's Oral History Project. Interviewees include Toshiko Akiyoshi, Herb Pomeroy, Gary Burton, Roy Haynes, Phil Wilson, Ray Santisi, John Bavicchi, Stan Strickland, Greg Hopkins, Dave Fiuczynski, Alan Chase, Larry Monroe. Most are viewable online in the library archives.

MAGES students benefit from the resources of the BMW Center, the facilities at Georgetown, and the unparalleled opportunities available in Washington, D.C. The MAGES program fosters a strong sense of community and prides itself on the depth of student friendships built in the program and the continued dedication of its alumni base.
MAGES Student Body
The interdisciplinary design of the MAGES program attracts students with wide-ranging interests and varied educational and professional backgrounds, all of whom share a common interest in European affairs.
With an average class size of 20 students in each incoming class, the student body is small enough to create a sense of community, yet large enough to offer diversity. Normally 2 to 5 students in each class pursue a joint MAGES/Ph.D. program. Students have strengths in different academic areas and are able to draw upon and learn from one another's expertise. They form study groups to discuss readings and projects outside of class, and often share drafts of their papers for advice and feedback. This cooperative environment promotes a very high level of intellectual exploration both in and out of the classroom. The small class size also allows for close interaction between students and faculty.
THE BMW Center COMMUNITY
During the academic year, the BMW Center is a second home to students in the MAGES program, serving as a study spot, a gathering place, and a central hub of activity for students, staff, and faculty. Throughout their two years in the program, our students engage with one another intellectually — in the classroom, where they take core courses together, and at Center speaker series and events — as well as socially. The BMW Center prides itself on the strength of friendships made in the program: our alumni often reflect that the tremendous value they take from their MAGES degree and educational experiences at Georgetown is amplified by the lifelong connections they formed through the BMW Center.
Outside the classroom, the BMW Center offers an array of events and activities to foster community within MAGES cohorts. Annual highlights include the Flynn Memorial Soccer Game, where students, faculty, and alumni square off on the pitch; the CGES Thanks-O-Ween celebration; a festive holiday party; and an Embassy reception for graduates and their families.
Georgetown University and Washington, D.C.
One of the powerful benefits of the MAGES degree is participation in the larger communities of Georgetown University and the School of Foreign Service.
MAGES students are leaders across the campus community, holding offices in the Graduate Student Government that organizes events for all Georgetown graduate students and participating in several extracurricular and professionally-oriented student groups. Students can also take advantage of the event programming throughout Georgetown's schools and institutes, which welcome prominent speakers to campus each semester.
Beyond the campus gates, Georgetown affiliation affords MAGES students access to countless opportunities for research and learning in Washington, D.C., including the Library of Congress, the National Archives, and foreign embassy information services.
For more information about student involvement at Georgetown, check out the list of graduate student organizations and explore the School of Foreign Service website for more on what it's like to be a student at the world's leading graduate school for foreign affairs.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- One person is dead and another is in critical condition following a shooting in the Old Northeast.
It was around 1 a.m. when witnesses called police to report hearing several shots fired near Colorado and Smart.
When officers arrived on the scene they found one man dead near the porch of a house. The second victim was transported to the hospital and put into surgery.
"Witnesses heard sound of a disturbance and then heard several shots fired," spokesperson for the Kansas City Police Department Darin Snapp said. "So we're trying to determine if the two shot each other or if they were shot by someone else."
Police now say they have two suspects in custody in connection with the shooting, they initially said they had three. They were able to catch them during a traffic stop.

How is the Dercum's disease diagnosed?
The Dercum's disease is usually diagnosed based on the medical history and physical findings of the patient. So, physicians thoroughly discuss about the clinical problems with the affected patients and diagnose the condition through clinical observation. Unlike other diseases, no specific laboratory test can detect the disease however the physician can diagnose it with the aid of magnetic resonance imaging. Blood reports reveal activated immune system and associated infection. The physician can obtain further blood reports to rule out other disorders.
What is the treatment for Dercum's disease?
Currently, the Dercum's disease has no cure and symptomatic treatment is reinforced that can control one symptom rather than the overall disease. The Treatment protocol is specific to each patient and varies from person to person. However, it usually depends on the related symptoms or complications suffered by the patient. The treatment options for controlling the associated symptoms of Dercum's disease include: Medication therapy, surgical therapy, and integrative therapy like weight management plans.
Medication therapy
Medication therapy includes pain relieving medications rather than removal of lipoma. These include narcotic analgesics, NSAIDs, Medical cannabis, Ziconotide, Fentanyl, Lyrica, methotrexate, Butrans, infliximab with or without methotrexate, IV lidocaine infusion and mexiletine, Prednisone, combination of acetaminophen and opioid analgesic, IC cortisone/anesthetic injection, acetaminophen and pregabalin. In addition, long term pain relief is provided by the administration interferon (INF) alfa-2b.
Patients presenting with fingers swelling require diuretics.
Psychological support is necessary in case of depression and related psychosomatic symptoms.
Patients suffering from osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia should consult a rheumatologist and patients with hypothyroidism and Cushing syndrome should consult an endocrinologist.
Surgical therapy
Isolated, painful lipomas around the joints often require supportive treatment that includes surgical excision procedures like Liposuction. Although, the condition recurs, liposuction can provide temporary relief from localized pain or associated symptoms.
Integrative therapies
These are the options for managing the disease. Appropriate weight loss strategies and supplements are reinforced to overcome obesity and symptoms respectively. However, there is no evidence to prove the efficacy of health supplements and diet therapy. Patients are advised to avoid monotonous work that leads to physical or psychological stress.

Myocardial infarction (MI) is a clinico-pathological condition resulted from an irreversible ischemic injury to cardiac myocytes. Myocardial infarction with normal coronary artery on angiogram (MINCA) is a widelyaccepted clinical term used to describe a group of patients presenting with the MI symptoms and signs but having a normal angiogram. Even though MINCA has been clinically established for a long time, to date, there is the only one study describing pathological findings of MI from the autopsy cases without coronary artery
atherosclerosis. This review explores possible up-to-date causes of myocardial infarction without coronary artery atherosclerosis in a pathological aspect.

Kid Talk Tuesday: Get to Know Katara Patton
This week's Kids Team post is a Q&A with Katara Patton, Acquisitions Director for children & youth products at Tyndale.
Where are you from originally and what brought you to Tyndale?
I was born and raised in a little town in Louisiana (Thibodaux). I was introduced to Chicago when I attended grad school at Northwestern. After I got into Christian publishing, I was very interested in working at Tyndale…and one day when I was just checking the company's site, I saw a position that matched my experience and skills…and the rest is history.
When you were a young child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
I wanted to be on stage somewhere…I thought I could be a singer or a dancer…but reality set in and I majored in Communications in college.
What was your first paid job?
Like many journalists, I wrote obituaries for my local newspaper as my first paid job. It was exciting to be in the newsroom even if I was only handling obits. Turns out, that's one of the most read sections of the paper.
What do you like most about your job at Tyndale?
I love several things about my job: I work with really talented people who always have great ideas, I get to read lots and lots of kids and young adult books, and I get to develop books with authors.
What is your one of your favorite Tyndale Kids product and why?
So Long, Insecurity Teen Edition by Beth Moore says everything I'd want to say to a tween/teenaged girl (even women!).
What is your family's favorite wintertime activity?
Well, watching football is a fall sport, huh? But no, really it is probably Sunday afternoons camped in front of the TV watching football. My four-year-old even knows how to say: "oh, aww, get him" while watching. She picked that up very quickly from her father!

Sleeping bags have some downsides that most people take for granted on camping trips. The hoods are often in the way for side or stomach sleepers, they can feel claustrophobic to many, and, since you still need a pad to insulate you from the ground, the section of the sleeping bag that you're laying on tends to be redundant weight.
A quilt alleviates these issues. There isn't a hood, so by using a warm hat or Hoodlum, your head still stays warm, but it moves with you as you move throughout the night. Quilts lay on the sleeper more like a blanket rather than a bag, so it affords more comfort for moving during the night, reducing the cramped, claustrophobic sensation, and eliminates unnecessary insulation and fabric below your body. In addition, by foregoing a full-length zipper it makes getting in and out of the quilt much quicker and easier than with a traditional mummy-style bag which is especially appreciated in cold weather and for late night trips.

Caduceus PowerPoint Template
It is an ancient symbol of Grecian origin that represented commerce, but became associated with its representation as a symbol of medicine since the 19th century after several documentation errors.
The caduceus is symbolised by the intertwining of two snakes around a winged staff belonging to the Greek deity Hermes, and in contemporary medical view symbolises DNA. It is said to represent rebirth, renewal and the removal of venom as per the representation of snakes. The free medical PowerPoint template is designed in metallic silver tones and set against a blue backdrop of heart beats, signifying its status as a medical representation. The free PowerPoint can be downloaded by medical practitioners while giving a seminar or lecture on ancient medical history for medical students. It can also be used by science teachers to add elements of interest to classes for middle and high school students, about medicine and history. Medical websites can add the PowerPoint to their trivia section, with facts about ancient medicine history and medicinal practices then.

Having a house is truly a blessing especially today when buying a house has become. In fact, people hardly earn bread and butter for their families so buying a home is not that easy. But it does not matter whether you live in a rented house or have your own house; everyone wants to make it beautiful and attractive. People buy many items to decorate their homes and increase its value. Also, they keep changing the colors of the wall to keep it in good condition. Believe it or not, the paint color on the wall significantly changes the entire look of the house.
Things you should consider while painting your home:
We have already discussed above that owning a house is a blessing and the size of the house does not matter in keeping it clean and beautiful. It is highly important to keep it in good condition so that it could look aesthetically beautiful. But if you do not have enough budget to buy items to increase its beauty and value then what you should do then. Well. Changing the wall colors is one of the most inexpensive ways of making a house look attractive. But you should be careful while picking the colors of the walls. However, you can do the experiments as it does not cost much to change the wall paint.
Here are a few factors you should bear in mind while painting the walls:
· The Room Preparation:
You cannot paint the room with all the furniture and stuff in it. You have to make the room empty to start painting. But if it is not possible to take everything out then collect them in the center of the room and cover them with an old cloth or a larget paper. Painting the walls of the room does not mean that you should paint the furniture along. Keep the furniture away from the paint.
· Testing The Paint:
Test the paint before you apply it on the walls. You do not start painting the walls without making a plan. So first of all check that whether the color you have picked will suit the walls or not. You have painted the four walls and then realized that it is not looking as attractive as you thought then you could change the color. Leave one wall with the same color and choose other colors that will look beautiful with that color.
· Amount Of The Paint Needed:
You have to determine how much paint you need. You cannot start painting the walls without estimating the needed amount because it will be too late if the paint finishes and you go to buy more. It also does not mean that you should purchase the extra amount as it will just increase the cost. You have to identify how many coats will be needed and how long and wide the walls are.
Choose the colors according to the structure and architecture of the place and get the services of the best painter in Milwaukee.
